Tehran, Oct 11, IRNA-The Iranian composer of "Iran Symphony", Shahin
Farhat, said in Tehran on Tuesday that Honar Academy of Culture is
commissioned to perform the "Iran Symphony". The symphony represents
the national glory, history and folk music, while old melodies have
been included in the piece in a modern way. He told IRNA that the
symphony has been written based on Iranian themes.
Not making any reference to the expected date the piece will be
played , he said, "Following the successful performance of Persian
Gulf and Damavand symphonies in Armenia, which was hailed warmly,
I decided to repeat the concert on the domestic scene due to its
purely Iranian themes."
The musician referred to the performance of the symphony in Iran as
a privilege and expressed his constant interest in presenting his
works on the domestic scene.
Farhat also pointed out that one of his musical pieces will be
performed by Ali Rahbari in the near future.
Turning to the difficulties facing the performance of orchestral works
in Iran, he said, "Lack of proper musical instruments and equipment
as well as secondary facilities such as synchronous recording make
the conductor of the orchestra unable to arrange the rhythms.
"Nowhere in the world are classical musical pieces played in such an
order as to start with string instruments, proceed with recording
percussion instruments and eventually mix the resulting tunes,"
concluded Farhat.
